**"Digger," Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s upcoming satirical black comedy starring Tom Cruise as an eccentric oil tycoon racing to avert an ecological catastrophe he helped create, opens wide on October 2, 2026.** With no critic reviews posted yet on Rotten Tomatoes, trader sentiment on the film’s eventual Tomatometer rests on the high-profile creative team—including cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, editor Stephen Mirrione, and a strong ensemble featuring Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, and Jesse Plemons—alongside the just-released final trailer that spotlights Cruise’s transformative, accent-heavy performance and the film’s absurdist tone. Iñárritu’s track record with ambitious, auteur-driven projects and Warner Bros./Legendary’s marketing push create expectations of solid but not guaranteed critical favor, typical for satirical genre blends that can divide reviewers. Key near-term catalysts include any early embargoed reviews or festival buzz ahead of release, followed by the first wave of scores that will lock in shortly after opening.
